FOREIGN AFFAIRS.

The Vienna correspondent Of the Lendon
Standard says it is reported that Emperor
William on his birthday will proclaim
Crown Prince Frederick William co-regent,
with the consent of the bundesrath
Mr.. Parnell will oppose any Irish land
purchase bill, based upon the existing ju-
dicial debts which it is generally admitted
are just 25 per cent. too high. During the
Easter recess Mr.. Parnell will abstain
from political work.
Baron De Staal, Russian ambassador at
London, has received from all the diplomats
in London, aud from Premier Salisbury,
expressions of congratulations on the
Cars escape from assassination last
Sunday, and Of horror over the plot against
his life.
A dispatch from st. Petersburg to London
says that six students were arrested on the
Newski Prospect, near AnitchkiA palace,
having in their possessiona quantity OF ex-
plosives. They were awaiting the coming
of the Car on his way to the cathedral to

A decree has been issued from the Ger

which have been added to the existing reg
iments, be garrisoned almost exclusively
in Alsace-LOrraine and Baden along the
Rhine. Only three battalions are to be
stationed along the Eastern frontier
The Berlin Post takes gloomy view of
the plot to assassinate the Car and says:
"With terror and regret We say that
Europe must prepare to see Russia adopt a
policy Of despair, taking shape either in
fatalistic resignati n or frantic adventure.
The latter is the more probable. 1t will re-
quire a superhuman effort on the part Of
the Gar to oppose the tempest of voices
calling for war as remedy for Russia :

On Emperor Williams birthday a5 mem
bers Of the reigning houses will assemble

ger of war. SO long as live shall use all
my influence to maintain peace. God will
soon call me to Himself do not wish to
leave my people a heritage Of blood. Ger

troubled to some extent by that organ.

IOWA.

As the time approaches for the Haddock
murder trial at sioux City, interest gathers
and much speculation is expressed The
decision Of the prosecution to put ArensdOrf
on trial first is regarded generally as an ev
idence that the state is in possession Of tes-
tilnony upon which they rely to convict
Arensdorf OF the crime charged against
him without first trying the other conspira-
tors and gathering chain of evidence to
convict him. In other words, it is believed
more generally than ever before that the
prosecution have very strong case and
that the defense is weakening. A converse
tion with one Of attorneys for the state con-
veys the impression that the state will pro-
duce eye witnesses to the shooting not yet
known to the public, that will clearly place
the guilt upon Arensdorf.

in any other way An old lady was taken
from . car unjnjured, but with her cloth
ing torn to slIreds. She said the women in
her car seemed to be panic stricken at the
dying in q seat, while another woman had
her head pillowed on the dying woman's
breast. The headless trunk of q woman
was found lying across a timber on the
street under the bridge, with one arm com
pletely gone and the lower limbs cut and
mangled. The head was found among the
tangled iron and fragments Of car few
feet away. One man was seen to walk
from the wreck in the direction OF Roslin-
dale after the wreck, and when he had gone
dozen yards he fell dead. either from ex-
citement or internal injuries. Everybody
had happened. Daniel Dougherty had an
awful experience. He was in the smoking
car playing cards with Ed Snow, Harry
Gay and Sergeant Lailler. The crash came
and the next thing he know he was in the
muddy street uninjured and holding in his

had all been killed.
The investigation in progress as to the
cause Of ,cident goes to show that bridge
itself was very defective and that there
were many iinperfections aud weaknesses
in the iron work and several old breaks have
been detected. The Engineering News OF
New York City sent experts to the bridge
and after reciting III detail the result OF that
investigation says, editorially:
The general judgment of engineers will
bear us out in saying that more shamefully
bad specimens Of bridge design, metal and
workmanshi can hardly exist We regret
to have to express Sd sweeping a condemna-
ton Of the structure. but the facts more than
justifying it. and it is but right that an oc-
currence of this kind the truth should be
pointed out and made clear without fear of
favor. 1t is appalling to think Of the tens
Of thousands Of lives which have literally
hung by a thread in passing over this bridge
during the past eleven years.

CURRENT NOTES.
Kerosene is better than crude petro-
leum for the softening and clearing out
the gummed and hardened oil in the
boxes Of mowers, reapers. and other
farm machinery.
Prune raspberries in the spring just
as soon as you can see the buds stirring.
Cut out all dead wood aud oil live
canes SO that they will stand stiff and
credit, and not more than three feet
high.
The Early Minnesota. says Mr.. Tick.
is the best sweet corn he has ever tried.
The plant is rather dwarf. ears fine for
early variety, and the quality good.
A dairyman Of GAINESVILLE commenced
to give his cows water to drink heated
to sixty-tive degrees, and the result was
an immediate increase of thirty quarts
Of milk psr day from twenty-five cows.
Set strawberry plants in the whole
depth Of the roots, but do not cover the
crown Of the plants. Keep the
soil loose and mellow at all
times between the rows and
around the plants; keep rid Of all
runners until the plants are well estab-
lished.
Halter-break the calves, says Col.
Weld. It is an easy job. You don't
even need a halter; rope around they
neck will do. They should enjoy being
tied. When they are tied they should
be fed and always when they are fed
they should be tied. Then when they
see any one with rope. up they come
asking to be fed. To the calf trained
thus the rope Is an emblem Of hope.
